Our Verdict

I’m not sure if you only need to go in branch for the special surprise or not, as the fine print and offer is a little confusing (especially since Pinnacle Banks in other states have the same $100 bonus without the in branch requirement). If somebody in Texas can confirm this, that would be great. If you don’t need to go in branch, then it’s a great offer. Otherwise only makes sense if you live close.

  • i opened ac in feb by calling bank & confirming the promotion, then after 90 days i called them they say by end of may u will get bonus, then they said by 18 june & now they say there was no bonus for texas.

    Does anybody has the pdf copy of bonus page?

  • Was anyone able to get a bonus from this bank, or even a surprise in the branch ? I feel like this was fake publicity. What can one do ? I know I saw a post about contacting a certain authority but can't find it. Thanks for the help !

  • Sooo I got someone to call me back from the branch. This offer expired February 28, 2015.

    Now I see that this was posted on DoC January 31, 2016 but Will even lists the expiration date of February 28th, 2015. That is weird.

    I pulled up my PDF copy of the offer and sure enough it also lists 2015 as the expiration year.

  • I'm in the same boat. Should we call and follow up or wait another week ? Also I never got a call asking me to pick up the surprise, whatever it is ...

      • No response to secure message. Pinnacle's call center and employees at the branch are telling me they've never heard of this promotion. Fun stuff.

        • did u or any folks who signed up for this have a screenshot or copy of the promo? if so, send it & see what they'll say. mine may not post, if at all, til june.

  • Anyone seeing a bonus post yet? I hit 90 days today and haven't seen anything.

  • banker said that the bonus is still good with the code 'fort worth' on the on-line app w/o the branch visit. anyone in tx has similar experience or response?

    • Their online chat representative confirmed that the date was wrong and they are still offering it this year (2016).

  • alright so successfully opened a new acct tonight. could only fund a max of $1k, I tried several diff numbers. and even when they initially gave me the green tickmark on the side of the box, the app wouldnt process when hitting continue for a number over $1k.

    used BoA VS MC. no datapoints for this but did see that someone was able to use FIA Fido Visa so I presumed other BoA cards would work as well. lets see how it posts.

    now my Q is: it doesnt specify limits anywhere in the T&Cs so can any other family member who lives at the same address also sign up for a new checking acct for the bonus? none of us have had a relationship w/pinnacle bank in the past. so time-based eligibility doesnt apply to us. DoC or any of the readers: have yall tried or have any more info? thx!

    • Bonus per person, not household. Both myself and SO opened accts last spring, bonuses posted on schedule, and just received 1099s for both.
